Good stay! We enjoyed it.
Pros:
+ The host is very responsive and helpful, every request we had was fulfilled very quickly. We asked for a cooking pot and a broom and it was provided. Big thanks to the host for being so helpful and accommodating.
+ Mattress is very good and comfy! Better than in most places.
+ Clean and modern looking apartment.
+ Very good location, being close to Ari station is quite handy. Very quick rides to Chatuchak and Siam via BTS. Also good restaurants around, but we aware this is not a cheap part of Bangkok. Some places here are quite expensive by Thai standards. I can recommend the Izakaya near Ari station, their food goes beyond expectations.
Cons:
- I didn't like the towels at all, very weird fabric that feels like microfibre and is uncomfortable to use. Ask the host if they changed the towels if you care about that. Or bring your own.
- It's quite noisy. The window is 2-3 meters from the street and you can clearly hear the cars and scooters at night as if they're right next to your ear (with windows closed mind you). Get some earplugs. I feel like many condos in Bangkok are built like this with very thin walls.
- Little necessities are lacking. There was no soap, no shampoo, no shower gel, no cloth to wipe the table with, no washing machine powder, and the pans were pretty beat up, but workable. It's a bit unfortunate, but it's not hard to buy everything you need in a 7-11.
- Wi-fi wasn't too good. Speed is ok, but it was disconnecting several times a day for a few seconds, and packet loss was also an issue. I just think the router is cheap, because it worked well when using the Ethernet cable.
Overall I'll say it's worth the price, considering location and that it's still a good place to stay.
